The formalized rules are the "tortured details" I referred to. I've played thousands of games of Go, and I've never even seen any of those versions of the rules.
The Japanese rules I refer to are the informal procedures I use every time I play, both to estimate the score during the game, and at the end. _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
